Pipe Network is transforming media streaming with a decentralized Content Delivery Network (CDN) on Solana’s high-performance blockchain. This secure, scalable, and hyper-localized solution enables permissionless contributors to deploy Points of Presence (PoPs) in targeted regions, ensuring lightning-fast access to high-quality media and real-time applications.
By removing the need for costly centralized infrastructure, Pipe Network enables rapid scaling and unmatched content streaming. The network offers the essential infrastructure for developers, operators, and content providers to thrive in the digital age.
Pipe Network aims to create a hyper-localized, scalable CDN that leverages Solana’s high-performance blockchain to deliver content faster, more securely, and more efficiently than traditional centralized CDNs, such as Cloudflare. The project incentivizes users to host internet infrastructure by running nodes, contributing to a decentralized ecosystem. This approach is part of a broader trend in decentralized infrastructure networks (DePIN), which seek to distribute and democratize access to digital services.
- Hyperlocal PoP Nodes: Ultra-low latency (<10ms) via nodes close to users.
- Permissionless Participation: Anyone can run nodes, boosting scalability.
- Solana-Based: Fast, secure, and scalable using Solana’s blockchain.
- Distributed Caching: Local content caching for efficient delivery.
Status: Confirmed via testnet rewards (per X post), but no official date or specifics yet.
Eligibility: Join testnet—install a node fill out Supply and Access Compute forms, engage on X/Discord.
- Total Raised: Pipe Network raised $10M
- Series A (2024): $10M, led by Multicoin Capital, with Solana Ventures, Robot Ventures.
- Valuation: Undisclosed. Funds for testnet, PipeQuest, and mainnet (2025).
